AOTW | July 25 – July 31: computer slime – ミスト

ミスト encompasses much of the early dealings in the “signalwave” subgenre, whereby candid microsamples from unidentifiable sources are cut and pasted outside of their context into a new cohesive work. The cool part about computer slime’s only full-length album is how entirely transient each song is: this is a textbook example of music that is by-and-large forgettable background fluff that simply fills space. Although that sounds like a bad thing for any other album, it’s actually what makes ミスト an incredibly successful album in the context of vaporwave. Check out Sunbleach‘s review here, and listen to the music below.
